The story linked to claims its the "smallest genome of a living oraganism", I would say is a bit misleading. The thing is an obligate symbiont, by this standard VSV (11000 bp) and many other viruses kick its ass for having small genomes.Baymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436172198266062229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14815894.post-1160945146821494132006-10-15T16:45:00.000-04:002006-10-15T16:45:00.000-04:00There is some talk about the X-prize on Quirks and...There is some talk about the X-prize on Quirks and Quarks this week where they speak with my former supervisor Dr. Steve Scherer from Sick Children's Hospital in T dot.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878582460269426199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14815894.post-1160939581512820882006-10-15T15:13:00.000-04:002006-10-15T15:13:00.000-04:00sweet!
